From Indus to Thames: A journey of rivers, cultures, and dreams
From the silent flow of the Indus to the shimmering waves of the Thames, this journey transcends geography; it is a voyage of spirit and imagination. Every river tells a story, every civilisation reflects a memory, and every dream opens a window where the enchanted echoes of the past meet the unseen possibilities of the future.
Two souls deeply in love are shattered by a truth neither expected — both are carriers of Thalassemia, a reality that places the future of their unborn child under the shadow of Thalassemia Major. What begins as a beautiful journey of love slowly transforms into a painful confrontation with destiny, sacrifice, and emotional uncertainty.Caught between the longing of the heart and the fear of inherited suffering, they choose to pause their relationship, standing helplessly before a future neither of them can fully escape. The story delicately explores love, loss, responsibility, and the silent wounds carried by those forced to choose between emotion and humanity.Directed by: Mansoor Afaq

Cinema of Awareness and Memory
The festival will also feature screenings of socially conscious health-related dramas and historically significant documentaries. These powerful productions aim to raise awareness, preserve collective memory, and inspire meaningful dialogue through the language of cinema, storytelling, and visual art.
Journey Of Memory
Journey of Memory ('Yaadasht kaa safar') depicts the difficulties that an Asian family has in recognising their elderly relative's memory problems. The short play of 25 minutes is followed by a series of interviews with West Midlands psychiatrists, who give practical advice on the treatment of dementia and available services. Dr Rashda Tabbasum, who produced the film, 'Journey of Memory' said: "With an increase in the life expectancy in Britain, we are seeing a proportional rise in the prevalence of dementia within the aging BME population. It was in this context that the film and leaflets in several South Asian languages were produced to spread awareness of dementia within the South Asian communities and the extremely important issues surrounding it."
Echoes of Katas Raj
A memorable documentary on the ancient temples of Katas Raj, uncovering forgotten histories, spiritual legends, and the silent echoes of the past. Through powerful visuals and reflective storytelling, the film opens the sealed doors of memory, reconnecting viewers with a timeless civilization, cultural heritage, and the mystical beauty of one of South Asia’s oldest sacred sites.
The Sacred Echo of Panja Sahib
A remarkable documentary on Panja Sahib that beautifully captures the spiritual grandeur and historical significance of this sacred Sikh shrine. Through moving narration and unforgettable imagery, the film transforms the memory of Panja Sahib into an even more timeless experience, celebrating faith, devotion, peace, and the enduring legacy of Sikh spirituality.
